LADY Whistledown LADY WHISTLEDOWN'S SOCIETY PAPERS: 31 May; 1815 THE MASQUERADE BALL!
TWO ELIGIBLE BRIDGERTON BACHELORS
-----This year's most sought-after invitation must surely be that of the Bridgerton masquerade ball, to be held Monday next. Indeed, one cannot take two steps without being forced to listen to some society mama speculating on who will attend, and perhaps more importantly, who will wear what.
-----Neither of the aforementioned topics, however, are nearly as interesting as that of the two unmarried Bridgerton brothers, Benedict and Colin. (Before anyone points out that there is a third unmarried Bridgerton brother, let This Author assure you that she is fully aware of the existence of Gregory Bridgerton. He is, however, fourteen years of age, and therefore not pertinent to this particular column, which concerns, as This Author's columns often do, that most sacred of sports: husband-hunting).
-----Although the Misters Bridgertons are, just that -- merely Misters -- they are still considered two of the prime catches of the season. It is a well-known fact that both are possessed of respectable fortunes, and it does not require perfect sight to know that they also possess, as do all eight of the Bridgerton offspring, the Bridgerton good looks.
-----Will some fortunate young lady use the mystery of a masquerade night to snare one of the eligible bachelors?
-----This Author isn't even going to attempt to speculate.

LADY Whistledown LADY WHISTLEDOWN'S SOCIETY PAPERS: 2 June; 1815 The Bridgerton Alphabet!
BEST THEY STOPPED AT EIGHT
-----The Bridgertons are truly a unique family. Surely there cannot be anyone in London who does not know that they all look remarkably alike, or that they are famously named in alphabetical order: Anthony, Benedict, Colin, Daphne, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory, and Hyacinth.
-----It does make one wonder what the late viscount and (still very-much alive) dowager viscountess would have named their next child had their offspring numbered nine. Imogen? Inigo?
-----Perhaps it is best they stopped at eight.

LADY Whistledown LADY WHISTLEDOWN'S SOCIETY PAPERS: 5 June; 1815 The COSTUME PREDICTIONS!
-----This Author waits with bated breath to see what costumes the ton will choose for the Bridgerton masquerade. It is rumored that Eloise Bridgerton plans to dress as Joan of Art; an Penelope Featherington, out for her third season and recently returned from a visit with Irish cousins, will don the costume of a leprechaun. Miss Posy Reiling, stepdaughter to the late Earl of Penwood, plans a costume of mermaid, which This Author personally cannot wait to behold, but her elder sister, Miss Rosamund Reiling, has been very close-lipped about her own attire.
-----As for the men, if previous masquerade balls are any indication, the portly will dress as Henry VIII, the more fit as Alexander the Great or perhaps the devil, and the bored (the eligible Bridgerton brothers sure to be among these ranks) as themselves -- basic black evening kit, with only a demi-mask as a nod to the occasion.
